North Carolinians share their experiences of life without health coverage, in their own words.
Far too many North Carolinians can’t see a doctor when they need one, because affordable health insurance is out of reach in our state. Medicaid expansion would bring affordable health coverage to more than 100,000 North Carolina parents with children at home.
Expanding Medicaid will help people get the medication and treatment they need for chronic conditions like diabetes, mental health needs, cancer, and other life-threatening diseases.
Most states have already expanded Medicaid. Thirty-eight states and DC have expanded Medicaid, including Virginia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Indiana. They are experiencing better health outcomes and positive fiscal impact. Not one state has reversed this decision since 2010.
Affordable health coverage helps small businesses. Many small businesses can’t afford to offer health coverage to employees – even in the best of times. Medicaid expansion can build a healthier workforce in North Carolina for businesses like restaurants, tourism, and child care, hit hardest by the pandemic.
